Recreation Programming during the Closure
- Mobile Recreation will have weekly visits to Virgil Flaim Park, Lake City Farmers Market, and Lake City Court/Seattle Housing Authority.
- Sound Generations programs were relocated to Lamb of God Lutheran Church, 12509 27th Ave NE
- A new community center is planned for construction to start in 2027.
